Mild profanity used maybe eight or ten times. One of the girls America competes with is black and another is Asian.

The writing is a bit different, but I think this series might appeal to readers who like books by Melanie Dickerson or Victoria Aveyard. And not just choose between them-but face the fact that her secret-keeping might destroy any hope of happiness in her future. But where The Elite left me frustrated by that hypocrisy, America finally faces the truth that she’ll have to choose between the two boys in The One.
She criticizes Maxon about his complex feelings for the other candidates when she harbors her own feelings for her childhood bestie, Aspen. Sometimes the dialog gets a bit superficial, and a few times America comes off as selfish. I picked up The One because I needed a light read, and this The Bachelor meets Cinderella fit the bill.
But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose-and how hard she’ll have to fight for the future she wants. When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown-or to Prince Maxon’s heart.
The time has come for one winner to be crowned. There’s nothing quite like reading beach books when you’re actually at the beach.Published on Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads We’re headed to the beach this weekend and now I’m trying to figure out what books to pack for that trip. The Selection isn’t great literature – I know you’re shocked to hear it – but it’s super fun and perfect for fluffy summer reading (although, let’s be honest I love fluffy reading all year long). Of course, once you’re in the thick of the competition and also living the high life in the castle and the boy of your dreams is hundreds of miles away, you suddenly start to think there might be something to this competition after all. And he likes that she’s not trying to ingratiate herself to him and he’s hugely amused by her initial disdain for him. Since she wasn’t too keen to be there in the first place, she isn’t feeling very competitive and lets Prince Maxon, who she thinks is terribly conceited, know it right from the start.īut they quickly become friends when she realizes he’s not conceited as much as he is sheltered and also super nervous about having to pick a wife from a group of strangers when he’s never even been on a date. (She applied under strong pressure from her mother who definitely has some visions of grandeur). She’s a 5 and the boy she’s in love with, Aspen, is a 6 (which is lower) and if they marry, she’ll become a 6 too.īut all those decisions weighing on her take a backseat when she’s chosen as one of 35 girls from the country to compete for the hand of the Prince. The world has been redivided into new countries, and her country is set up in a fairly strict caste system. The first in the The Selection series books by Kiera Cass follows America Singer. I can’t speak to whether this is true or not, but I do know the general premise of the show, and so I buy that description. The Selection is billed as Cinderella meets The Bachelor. I’ve never seen a single episode of the Bachelor so. One point for Kiera Cass, zero for Janssen Bradshaw. I only needed to read the first book, but I blew through the next two books in the series – The Elite and The One – in about ten days and now I’m just (im)patiently waiting for the fourth book in The Selection series, The Heir, which comes out next week.Īlso, nothing makes me feel like a reading fraud like finding out that a series I have never heard of or seen is a New York Times bestseller. I got a physical copy of the book for this campaign, but my library had audio copies of the whole series so I just checked them out and listened to them all. The Selection by Kiera Cass was my most recent binge-listen. I mentioned at the beginning of the year that I was in a mega non-fiction zone.īut then I read the new Sarah Dessen book and listened to all three of the Burn for Burn books and remembered how much I love young adult fiction.
